Needless to say, Fujifilm is citing generative AI and other AI-related services as major drivers behind the growing demand for magnetic tape
LTO-10 tapes were released earlier this year, providing a native capacity of 40 terabytes.

I don’t get it, why bother archiving anything AI produces? You can just ask the next AI to reproduce it.

Wouldn’t magnetic tape be the wrong storage medium for generative models? Or is this some type of non-archival iteration?

Is $64m even an investment in the context of AI components? That just feels like the price of 64GB of RAM.
